I got an unexpected phone call this morning. The man at the other end is said to Microsoft Help Desk. He said he had an urgent problem with my computer. He said that, as part of the automatic updates download, my computer had downloaded some unwanted files likely to damage my computer. He said that the files would fill my drive causing my computer to grind to a halt and also undermine my security software, leaving my computer vulnerable to attacks. He wanted to sit in front of my computer and he would talk to me through fixing it. I did apologize and hung up. I now had two of these calls.
The sounds of all of this as a scam to me! I have no way of verifying that this person has been Microsoft at all, and I can't imagine Microsoft never call someone at home like that. I guess it was someone trying to access my computer for criminal purposes. I couldn't find anything on the web site of Microsoft to think there was no truth in what in told me.
Can anyone offer me any advice?

error when opening application data\microsoft\help\qyevopl.dll.
Original title: I get a window rundll on opening how do SFC?
Be very specific when telling me how to do this. the box says application data\microsoft\help\qyevopl.dll
You also have to be precise!
If you receive an error rundll in opening, exactly what what would you say (be specific, not paraphrase).
It is extremely unlikely that SFC will help you, but you can if you want to get frustrated time and waste. If you have a genuine XP installation CD bootable which has the same Service Pack as your installed version (most people don't) SFC will complain - a lot and you will be in for a frustrating waste of time. Suggestin SFC is akin to saying "I don't know what the problem is or how to fix it.
There is no XP file called qyevopl.dll, so if that's what you're seeing, it sounds like your system is currently or has been affected by malicious software.
You should tell us about your system and then run some known for malware scanners.
It makes no sense to try to repair a system that is afflicted with malicious software, so if you still have the problem after scans run clean, then we can solve your problem.
Since the implementation of the Microsoft Answers forum does not ask for any kind of information system when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system. Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.
Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.
Provide information on your system, the better you can:
What is your system brand and model?
What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?
Do you have the Windows Desktop Search installed issue?
Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..
The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?
You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?
What do you see (exactly) that you don't think you should see, and when you see it?
If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?
Download, install, update and do a quick scan with these free malware detection programs (not at the same time):
Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/SAS will probably report a lot of tracking cookies and you can just let him delete them.
They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
The scans by operating clean, restart, and then fix any problems.

"' is this legitimate"' Microsoft Help "?
They ask the origin of a person who more lives here and then said: it's my computer and they just need to check something. He started talking with me and said it would be just to remember and I've been checking the site .com to help? I don't have a great understanding with computers, but I was reluctant to do anything. I'm NOT happy if this is true! Thank you
Fake phone calls to technical support
Such unsolicited telephone calls are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.
Please see:

Microsoft does ever not requested for telephone calls of support or security.
